‘I now realise that innocence and a good heart are far more precious to the soul than false glory.’ ‘La Clemenza di Silla’? In Mozart’s seventh opera, which he composed in 1772 at the age of sixteen, a complete about-turn to clemency made the Roman ruler Lucius Sulla into a forerunner of Emperor Titus, whose praises Mozart sang in his final opera seria. Despite its strong ties with tradition, Lucio Silla is the masterpiece of a young genius, full of originality and profoundly felt music. Playing with mirrors that may or may not be transparent, and with seeing and being seen, imagination and reality, the young director Tobias Kratzer and the conductor Antonello Manacorda expose the political power games and distrust with such topicality that the story could be set in the present. After all, Silla’s message is surely timeless: ‘What triumph can rival the victory over one’s own heart?’
